Hello

My name’s Jen Smith. I am a copywriter (I write about furniture for a major furniture retailer) and a writer of fiction for children and teenagers.

For more about my books see:

Under the name J.L. Smith I write ‘The Abominators’ series for age 7+ (published by Little Brown books for young readers and illustrated by the very talented Sam Hearn). I also write books for teenagers under the name Jenny Smith (‘Diary of a Parent Trainer’ and ‘My Big Fat Teen Crisis’ are published by Scholastic).

This blog is about writing about pants, and other things that occur to me.

If you read just one of my blog posts, please read (archived under April 2013, and under the category ‘inspiration’) ‘The Man Who Loved Stories’, which is all about my dad, the storyteller.
